Forming

Brake forming is a mechanical process that deforms the sheet metal by using channels, most commonly U and V shaped, along with punch and dies to form the sheet metal along straight axis at various angles. This process is a simple concept and can be thought of much like Origami; the process of folding paper along lines to create intricate designs. Though the concept is a simple one, the process becomes more difficult when tolerances are introduced. Other things to consider when maintaining the accuracy from one piece to the next include not only the press brake being used, but the tooling, the material being formed, and the individual doing the forming.
